Mr Karma meets Zac Guildford

I took no joy on hearing Zac Guildford was recently assaulted in France. 

No one deserves to be attacked and beaten-up, even him. 

According to a sycophantic journalist at the N.Z Herald [09^th Sept] Guildford’s own propensity to get drunk and assault people “Stemmed in no small part from the personal tragedy that struck him in 2009 when his father died of a heart attack while watching from the stands as his son and his New Zealand teammates won the Junior World Cup title in Tokyo.” 

Talk about making-up a sob story to mitigate his alcohol issues and violent streak. 

If the attackers in France are caught and come up with a similar extenuating line “It is all linked to my father leaving me when I was 18” then I guess we should be similarly happy and forgiving.  

Only that sort of excuse only works if you are an All Black.   

Hung-over All Black Misses the Team Flight

The All Blacks are held up as some template for sporting professionalism in New Zealand.   

They set the bench mark. 

New Zealanders are constantly bombarded with AB’s in adverts from cell-phones to deodorant sticks. 

Even booze sales which is rather fitting given the propensity of the players like Aaron Cruden to use the product to excess.   

“It’s out of character”. 

That’s why my site never has anything to write about.
